 The last time: Georgia Tech cruised to an 87-49 victory in Atlanta a year ago.

 Seasons at a glance: Georgia Tech won its first two games before losing handily to Illinois-Chicago and by two to No. 14 Michigan State. The Yellow Jackets beat ACC foe Virginia at home Sunday. After losing the season opener to Old Dominion, Georgia seeks its sixth straight win, which would be its longest streak in coach Dennis Felton's tenure.

 Notes: Georgia freshmen Billy Humphrey (13.2 ppg) and Mike Mercer (13 ppg) are the Bulldogs' top two scorers, despite having just one start between them. Humphrey also leads the team in rebounding with 5.5 per game. Mercer missed Saturday's win over Savannah State because he served a one-game suspension for missing a class. ... Sophomore Younes Idrissi made his first career start at home Saturday but picked up two fouls in two minutes. Junior Steve Newman came in off the bench and led the Bulldogs with 22 points and nine rebounds.
